Don't Shoot the Messenger Bag
Big, sturdy carriers like this Don't Shoot the Messenger bag are a great alternative to purses and backpacks. They tend to have a longer life than regular purses, so you can save money on broken straps or holes. DIY messenger bags can seem like an intimidating project, but this tutorial is incredibly easy-to-follow and will give you a gorgeous result. This bag makes for a wonderful gift for teens and college students as they head back to school. It's the perfect size to cart around a laptop or heavy textbooks. Practice your embroidery skills by adding a little flourish to the front flap!
